>Dear colleagues;
> I came in, three months late to this forum, so my previous input on
metric was out of focus. I'm sorry about that. Also sorry about the way I
assasinate in cold blood the beautiful Shakespeare's language. I can't do
anything about it.
> Secondly, but principally, I would like to congratulate Dr. Vince
Mancuso for the stamina (libido) injected in this project.
> Thirtly, as a Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Doctor of Medicine
(thesis on Epistemology), Pilot, Professor, etc., and now 6 year CRMer; in
my 22 year carreer I had the opportunity of having participated in several
profetional "fora" and never had read or heard so clearly and sincerelly -I
appretiate it very much- one of our main and more intimate contradictions or
paradoxes, as Skip put it last 26/11/96 (by the way I don't know who Skip
is, I beg your pardon).
> In fact, I understand that all of us are some sort of experts in
"human factors" (in wide sense), so we can't evade an inner sincere
confrontation whith this dualistic position, a real dilema.
> "To say or not to say" what I know. Should I divulge what I've
discovered ?, and the way I perform things ?, and what my projects are ? etc.
> What do you believe is (and was) the way science develops? Remember
the Werner Heisenberg's book "Beyond Atomic Phisics", when the author
recalled those brilliant and unforgettable moments when he himself,
Einstein, Bohr, Fermi, Plank, etc., used to joint in their free time to
share their ideas, doubts... ?
> Should our world be the same if our "maestros" would choise to hide
their hypothesis to each other ...?
> Someone here mentioned Peter Senge's book "The fifth discipline",
ok, what exactly means to be an inteligent organization, to learn
colectively, to have a systemic approach to the new chalenges ?
> Ten years ago I had the fortune that NASA translated partially my
book "Systemic Aeronautical Psychiatry" (460 pages) as Technical Memorandum
77681. That "opera prima" published some years before was no more that a
"framework of conjectures" as Jenofanes used to say 2500 years ago (then
also Popper, von Bertalanffy, etc. spoke on that).
> I was no affraid at all of anybody who may steal my "great ideas".
> I rather believe in the "gardener method" by Rabindranath Tagore
(Nobel of Literature) that is to say: prunings and grafts...
> In our jargon here (in the darkside of the world), we use to call
the "misteriometer" or "the little farm", what mediocre men use to hide
jealously from others curiosity.
> The dilema Skip has possed, is deeply installed in all of us.
Hopefuly generosity will overcome mediocrity and spourious interests in this
forum.
> Perhaps there is a way to protect or saveguard the paternity of
ideas here: applying a strict code of ethics and keep the record (as it is
doing so far in http://www.caar.db.erau.edu/lists/crm-devel)
of what is said
and by whom.
> Bye guys,this was your grandfather Hugo, conjecturing from beyond
the grave.
